Chapter.... umm.. 7?

It's too Hard

Garnet looked up at the clock as is buzzed.

"Oh darn."

I slept in. Now I'm really going to get in trouble.

She thought, while slipping on her orange overalls. Luckily she wasn't 'that' late, because Eiko was just now getting out of the bathroom. She looked at Garnet, tears burning in her eyes.

She still hasn't gotten over Zidane?

Garnet wondered, trying to smile.

"Eiko,"

She called, walking up to Eiko. Eiko turned around,

"I'm not talking to you."

She said, folding her arms, turning around.

"The more you hate me, the more I'll go out with Zidane."

Garnet said. Obviously she was kidding.

Go out with Zidane?? Get out of here!

Eiko turned around, tears reflecting in her eyes.

"Why did you pick Zidane, anyway!? Why don't you go out with Kuja.. or something!? You just have to ruin everybody's life, don't you!?"

She screamed, zooming out of the door.

"Eiko!"

Garnet shouted, starting to run, she stopped as she noticed Kuja at the door, examining Eiko who was sprinting.

"What do you want?"

Garnet asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"You aren't actually going to insult me anymore then you did yesterday.. are you? ... If so.. you're pitiful."

Kuja said, giggling evilly.

"Whatever.. so tell me what you want."

Garnet snapped, reluctantly approaching him.

"I wanted to warn you about Zidane. My dear princess.. he's a bugger, once you get to know him.. and he's a magician. He has the slickest plots which will test you... if you're smart enough you won't have any problems with him. ... However, if you are dim, then YES... he will trick you into falling in love with him. That son of a bitch can get any girl to sleep with him in a matter of a week."

Kuja paused, turning around,

"And this is just a warning.."

"You'll see for yourself at the dance, my friend."

Kuja giggled, then walked out the door.

He sure thinks he knows everything..

"Getting advice from him would do me the worst."

Garnet whispered, grabbing her pendant, putting it on.

"But then... he could be so right."

She held her pendant,

"Zidane could be nothing but a trickster. I should be careful."

She headed for the door.

*~*

"Alrighty, so does everyone understand--?"

A counselor asked. Just then, Garnet walked in the small room, making everyone stare.

"Um.. sorry I'm late.. it t'was a bit of a .. social matter."

Garnet said, her voice as squeaky as a mouse. The counselor rubbed her nose,

"Social Matter?"

She asked, as Garnet took a seat behind Rinoa.

"Indeed."

Garnet replied. The counselor groaned, and then continued. Everyone got up except Garnet, who had no clue what was going on.

"What are we doing?"

She asked. Teenagers shrugged, and continued to spread throughout the room.

"Huh?"

Garnet noticed Zidane walking up to every girl in the area, asking questions to each. Garnet felt lost, and weak.

What do I do?

She felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around, and saw Rinoa smiling at her.

"We're dancing. You have to.. pick a partner, and then, pick a song. It's kind of a rehearsal for the dance."

Rinoa explained. She then headed over to where Squall was.

How can she stand that guy? Isn't he like the most anti-social guy here?

"Hey! Dagger!"

Garnet had no idea what 'Dagger' meant. She forgot everything that happened yesterday. It was Zidane, running up to her.

"Dagger?"

Garnet grumbled.

"Err.. Yeah, that's the name you wanted.. remember?"

Zidane asked. Garnet shrugged her shoulders,

"No,"

Zidane sighed,

"So. Do you want to dance?"

He asked, expecting her to say 'no' right away. Garnet put her hands on her hips.

Do I have a choice?

She wanted to shout, 'NO WAY' in front of the whole small room, but it didn't come out the way she wanted it.

"Fine."

The words slipped out of her mouth, she wanted to force them back, but they just.. were there!

"Great!"

Zidane sounded extremely enthralled. Probably because all the other girls said, 'NO WAY, ZIDANE TRIBAL'. Zidane grabbed Garnet's hand, making her feel a little uneasy.

I've always thought that you dance with someone who was your dream date... and here I am, dancing with Zidane Tribal.

She looked over Zidane's shoulder, and saw Kuja dancing with some girl with brown hair, who was fairly nice looking.

It's scary that a girl that beautiful has to dance with a scumbag like him.

She also noticed Eiko dancing with Vivi. Eiko glanced at Garnet, her eyes turned red with hatred. The counselor came over towards Zidane, and Garnet.

"Have you figured out a song, yet?"

She asked. Zidane looked at Garnet, who was busy staring at someone else.

"Not yet."

Zidane said, sheepishly. He tabbed Garnet on the shoulder.

"H-huh? .. What?"

Garnet asked, turning around.

"What? Are you madly in love with Kuja? Anyways, we gotta pick a song. So...?"

Zidane looked at her impatiently. Garnet looked down,

"I um--.."

Oh boy.

********** END OF CHAPTER.
